The aim is to identify substances subject to biological testing, to ensure they meet purity levels required for safe use in food and to reflect and encourage good manufacturing practice. There were a total of 149 specifications considered at the 65th meeting, with 132 compounds newly adopted, of which three remained tentative, and with 18 specifications revised, of which seven remained tentative.
